Prostitution is referred as the world’s oldest profession but I think it should be referred to as world’s oldest oppression. everyone says the only profession with lives at stake is only the one ‘ARMY’ but I think prostitution has the same amount of risk as so many women in the profession of prostitution are murdered each year . Women in prostitution are more likely to be murdered than women of similar age and race. Prostitution of women is a lethal form of violence against women and violation of basic human rights.

Though prostitution in India is not legal but everyone knows it is illegally legal, in other countries where it is legal and society had made an attempt to normalize it failed to stop violence against women in prostitution. Women who are prostituted are often subjected to violence and abuse from their customers. Women are also vulnerable to sexual diseases and this profession is full of such cases
Sex slavery and prostitution is not a choice as many believe. No one has childhood dream to become a prostitute when she grows. There are many factors and related violence which led them to prostitution.

Some of the factors are:-

Gender and racial discrimination.

Lack of education.

Poverty and need to support family.

Childhood sexual abuse and physical abuse.

Drug addiction

Blackmailing for their nude videos.

The root cause of prostitution is gender discrimination and the system where men are able to exploit women without interference from law and society. It will continue as long as man will buy, sell and resell women. It really hurts when one creation of God sells the other. Women are the most beautiful, divine creation. If the aim is to stop sex slavery and prostitution, the other violence against women should be stopped which led to prostitution. Women should be treated equally from their birth and should get their due share of respect. Every man should remember that he was there inside a woman for nine months and should think of that woman before looking at any other woman with a wrong eye.
